let's also remember something important about the obamacare. it's the phrase obamacare. it's his legacy. that's something that was cemented. originally, it was a derogatory term that republicans were trying to push. then democrats embraced it. and the biden administration hasn't had that sort of fortune with bidenomics. it just is not -- it's not in the conversation the same way. it's not associated with benefits is and entitlements that get democrats energized the way obamacare does. there's a large portion of young democratic voters who don't really remember the fights of obamacare. >> i'm about to make yo feel even older. i'm glad you brought that up. let's look generally at the way young voters voted in 2008, 2012, they voted for obama in a big way. now let's look at how old those voters are. those young voters, daniel, he's crying. the tears of getting older. they are not -- they are young, but they are not the youngest voters anymore. >> we're middle aged voters. >> the question is whether or not owith, quote, unquote, youn voters or is it just the voters who were

i saved obamacare when we got john mccain ice negative vote. you know, he voted against it after campaigning for many, many years. he said, ugh, thumbs-down. it was an amazing night, but we're going to fix it. >> the most important part is you should guard the vote. you should go into detroit, philadelphia, some of these places, atlanta, and go into some of these places, and we've got to watch those votes when they come in. >>> joe biden is not the defender of american democracy. joe biden is the destroyer of american democracy. it's him and his people.

repealing obamacare and draining the swamp.a special counsel against hillary clinton. and now he says he's going to do one against biden. he's running on things he didn't do. he will have a plan to supersede obama care that will lower prices for people so that they can afford healthcare while making sure people with pre-existing conditions are protected. and we're going to look at the big institutions that are causing prices to be high. big pharma, big insurance, and big government. but it's going to need to be when you have a reform package that's going to be put in place. i don't think that repeating what trump did and the failure is necessarily going to make sense. so we will address that. we will make sure that the obamacare promised lower premiums and it didn't deliver that. and we know it needs to go in a different direction. but it will be done by having a plan that will be able to supersede it. >> governor, i want to be clear by what you mean by supersede. do you mean you will move to repeal obamacare and try to replace

nothing on obamacare.s was new for them after they read the wall street journal. >> he promised healthcare when he was in office and did not do it. most republicans wish that this would just go away. >> thank you so much, it's great t to have each of you her on this happy monday. i appreciate it. >> thank you for joining inside news politics, cnn central starts right here. >>> this is cnn.

what can republicans let this one go, obamacare, why can't they let this go?ly since they don't have a plan, rev, obamacare has been very successful i believe in this great country in which we live that quality, affordable health care should be a right and not a privilege for the view. and frankly, so to the american people. i believe that it didn't succeed when trump tried to overthrow th affordable care act and it won't succeed now. >> i want to ask you about something very important to you and me. friday marked the 68th anniversary of the day rosa parks took her faithful bus ride in montgomery, alabama, and sparked a movement when she refused to yield her seat to a white man. you have proposed a bill to honor rosa parks with a federal holiday on december 1st. can you talk to us about why this is so important? >> you know, rev, friday was the 68th anniversary of rosa parks arrest. and her peaceful resistance, it really sparked not only the busboy cop of the civil rights movement, and i dare say the human rights movement that's been global. i believe that she

obamacare is unpopular. if you're a republican, what you believe is, your voters don't like obamacare, so you want to go out and campaign against obamacare while everyone else said it's for it in the general election. donald trump can switch his opinion from the primary to the general and nobody's going to hold him accountable. because nobody ever holds him accountable. >> except the courts. three times the supreme court struck down, including two justices that he appointed. >> i don't think hi's particularly worried about it. >> supersede is a new desantis word to repeal and replace obamacare. you're talking about a poll, a policy that's gotten more popular over the last decade and if it impacts more than one out of ten americans. this idea you're going supersede it in desantis' world and replace it is just bs. >> that's what we're running on, the truth of the matter is look 77% of americans are dissatisfied with the healthcare system in america, that's not saying anything about obamacare, so yes it's a rep

donald trump is serious about overturning obamacare. democratic congressman robert garcia joins me live onset to react to that and more. i am ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. >>> tonight, we begin with donald trump's legal chaos, and how it is quite schedule is soon going to collide with his political calendar. on the civil side, trump's fraud trial as soon wrapping up. the judge has already found trump's two adult sons and the trump organization liable for inflating the values of real estate properti to get favorable loan deals. the trl will determine the damages and whether trump in his two sons can every run a business again in new york. trump is expected to take the stand as the final witness on december 11th with closing arguments scheduled for january the 11th. that is just four days before the iowa caucus. and then, this second defamation lawsuit from e. jean carroll. that trial begins january 15th, the very same day as the iowa caucus. and here is where the problems begin. because it is one thing for voters to go to the polls

kill the bill versus promoting obamacare.ack through that, time 15 years, out there has still not been an alternative plan. not only from donald trump, but from any thoughtful or serious republican leader. let's talk about political strategy, chest versus checkers, if you think about, it donald trump short term when was writing his name on these checks that went out to ensure that this was impactful. obamacare has not worked its way into the fabric of american still health care system, it is basically like america's opening moments, and every, fall folks are getting tech sane signed up for obamacare, have you signed up your benefits plan. it is americas hr almost. that is happen over the course of almost ten, years ago so the, feature and that my friend's political chess. it is worked itself into the fabric of, things just like social security under fdr. it ain't going to war nowhere soon. what reasonable public and should do is find a way to go back to their roots, which was from the heritage foundation, and think about how

this is a newer subject, but obamacare is a disaster. and i said we're going to do something about it. i saved obamacare when we got john mccain's negative vote. he voted against it after campaigning for many years. he said, thumbs down. >> he saved obamacare repealing part of it and why did john mccain vote against it because they didn't have a replacement. but trump clearly sees that what he said, he shouldn't have said. >> trump's message on obamacare took his advisers by surprise when he made that. that was something that is largely seen as settled in the republican party. because they tried for years to repeal and they weren't able to and now everyone wants to leave it alone. >> and it locked them in the majority in 2018. >> 100%. and just the way that he tried to rewrite the narrative on obamacare, he has been trying to do the same thing with abortion on the campaign trail. he has said, republicans need to not be so extreme on abortion. this is an issue you have to be very careful with. but he is the one that appointed three suprem

in a pair late night post his social media site, he expressed that obamacare socks it suggested thatlace it with, much health care. he hasn't actually explained what that means and he hasn't offered an alternative vision on the campaign trail. of course let's not forget, trump tried and yes failed to repeal obamacare when he was president in 2017 more republicans had unified control of the government could've done it. the gop played the price, the following year as democrats won control of the house in the midterms, that's because obamacare is very popular. a poll from earlier this year found that nearly 60% of americans hold a favorable blue view of the act. -- launching this ad campaign that will air. >> the last administration's policies are so troubling, our health care system has become a business and people are becoming billionaires off the backs of sick people. >> joining me now to discuss this and more is democratic congressman, robert garcia of california. congressman, great to have you. it begs the question, why donald trump would think trying to repeal obamacare's good pol

, but also because obamacare is significantly popular.is much more popular than i think it was at the beginning and so a lot of americans, i think, would be surprised to hear that republicans are trying to replace it. and so as president biden gears up for reelection, it does give you an indication that he does want to make this a significant plank of his argument and you have seen him over the course of the last several weeks talk about initiatives that would potentially strengthen the law, including trying to expand drug reduction prices and reduction in drug prices, but also talking about potentially reviving the idea of a public option. that's been something that's been bandied about among president biden's aides as well. certainly as president biden looks to expand on the popularity of this law you can expect that he will talk about it more and more and he will rely on his democratic predecessor in the white house, barack obama, the law's name sake in some ways to talk about it as well. >> you can be sure that they are happy for dona

for replacing obamacare.never got it . we don't know what happened between now and then. we still don't have that plan. what is your sense of that issue for democratic voters? i suspect some of them would like to have that debate again. this has been the law of the land for many years now and many like what it does. it covers pre-existing conditions and so on. >> obamacare is a loser for republicans. this goes back to the idea that taking things away from people is a loser, right? we saw this with rowe. women didn't like having a right taken away. with obamacare, if trump had been a more diligent politician, more controlled, he would have talked to his people and known this was not a good issue for him to run on. instead, he was all over it. i remember him saying something to the effect of, who knew healthcare was so complicated? this is a tough issue for him and i think it is a loser for republicans. >> scott, i am old enough to remember when obamacare was not good for obama. i covered the second term of the

obamacare covered $71.uess what, when i came to income tax time they wanted the $71 back for the six months that i was on it. then they increased it for the next month. there is so much free money rolling around, everyone talking about this -- you have a criminal running for a free country. this dude actually said i am down with putin and this is how you're supposed to run a country. talking about the economics. he set up front i do not pay taxes. those who do are stupid. do not blame me. you have a criminal running. someone i want to touch on, the guy who said, this is a lie. there is no difference in economics. recession is influx big time. you're talking about jobs. a lot of jobs and nobody is trying to work them. everybody wants to be remote. everybody wants to work remote and do nothing because it helps the economy, the employer's. the young ones talking about rent, you do not have to worry about mortgage. you cannot even pay rent. host: how are you doing besides the health problems. are you able to pa

and still nothing, no plan, no proposal for obamacare. and now the numbers show that obamacare might be even more popular than ever. so what exactly do the polls say. harry enten, data reporter. harry, it used to be that obamacare was like a political slur, now what? >> yeah, let's just take a look at a mini timeline. but will go back, not all the way back but, when he was first elected on the affordable care act. look at this, more voters viewed it negatively than positively. during that whole repeal replace, remember that back in july of 2017, you start to see the view shift a little bit. 50% positive. look at where we are in the last kff poll. 59% positive, versus just 40% negative. the views have shifted tremendously. the affordable care act is about as popular as ever. >> phillip: he asked and democrats know it, how they have been using this to their advantage. >> it's take a look at the party trust on this, look which party is trusted more, look at this, a 19-point edge for democrats. they would rather play the 2024 campaign on heal

he never came up with a plan to replace obamacare. i remember back in those days, you guys were very worried that obamacare was not very popular at that time. it has become increasingly much more popular. how do you wage that battle? >> well, yeah, it wasn't popular at the time, because it was passed, but it wasn't implemented yet. now it has been implemented and everyone with pre-existing conditions in the country know that they can't be denied insurance. people who are between jobs know that they can find insurance. i mean, there are so many benefits that flow from it and people have experienced. listen, i thought it was interesting that when trump said that, so many republicans, as my friend in texas would say, ran from that like scalded dogs. they didn't want anything to do with it. because they lost that fight, they got brutal i'd by it. it's not a popular issue for them. the fact that desantis is jumping in reflects his campaign strategy, which is a failed one, trying to be sort of trump -- you know, trump a-plus-plus. and the f

obamacare, once again in trump's crosshairs.s senator who wants to limit the use of pronouns and nicknames. do you know senator cruz's real name? spoiler alert, it ain't ted. stay with us. . . as i got older, my hearing was not so good so i got hearing aids. my vision was not as good as it used to be, got a change in prescription. but the this missing was my memory. i saw a prevagen commercial and i thought, "that makes sense." i just didn't have to work so hard to remember things. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. okay, so here's my most requested hack for stubborn odors. you'll need vinegar, a large salad bowl and... oh, hi! have you tried new tide fabric rinse? it works after your detergent to fight deep odors 3 times better than detergent alone. i love that. try new tide fabric rinse. please be a phone, please be a phone. is it a phone? oh, it smells like a cat nip toy from chewy. that's not a phone. get up to 40% off gifts that bring the most joy at chewy. this is better than toilet paper get great deal

no plan, no proposal for obamacare, and, yet, now the numbers show that obamacare may even be more popularat exactly to the polls say? a cnn senior data reporter harry enten is here with me at the wall with more. so, harry, it used to be that obamacare was like a political slur. now what? >> let's just take a look at a mini timeline and go back, not all the way back, but we'll go back to when trump was first elected. these are the affordable care act. look at this, more voters unit negatively than positively. during that skinny repeal or place, or that? that will idea back in july of 2017? all of the sudden you see the views shifted a little bit, 50% positive. look at where we were in the last kff poll, 59% positive versus just 40, just 40% negative. the views have shifted tremendously. the affordable care act is about as popular as ever, actually. >> reporter: democrats know it. out of they been using this to their advantage? >> yeah, take a look at this party trust on this. which party is trusted more on the affordable health care? look at this. 19-point edge for democrats, they would mu

i think instead of repealing obamacare. the real conversation if i were advising a candidate is how am i going to bring down costs and make it feel like your insurance is actually insurance and not something that has just gotten more expensive but worse in quality? depends on who you ask. if you get healthcare for free you probably think it is great. if you're somebody who has been paying for it or you own a small business and pay for for your employees you probably don't think the private insurance market has done well. >> that sounds like a thought out argument from scott. not what we have heard from donald trump. the question i was getting two more specifically is why is donald trump ringing it up at this time when it hasn't yielded success before? >> i think he is bringing it up because he still believes republicans want to repeal obama care. he probably feels like it was a failure it did not happen on his watch. it may be a knee-jerk reaction. also to something he read. he may have read an op-ed talking about obamacare

this is a newer subject but obamacare is a disaster.d we're going to do something about it. >> president trump promised that he would repeal and replace are, and he didn't do it. obamacare hasn't worked we're going to replace and supersede with a better plan. >> while trump and desantis go head to head on that issue, republicans seem to have very little interest in relitigating it. the white house planning to lay out a health care expansion package that the president would work to pass in the second term. let's bring in the white house reporter at the "wall street journal." katherine, it's wonderful to see you. i get why ron desantis is resurrecting this issue, because he's trying to get back at donald trump because this is an implicit failure for donald trump. i get why he's talking about it. what's going on? yeah, bringing it forward like it's a newer idea. it's not a newer idea. republicans have been brought this to the floor and it hasn't been successful, right? and a lot of them have dropped it in recent elections. it's law is popu

obamacare is more popular. and it became more popular in the 2017 fate than it was in the 200n 2009, 2010 clrg i'm old enough to have covered. it shifted in the 2017 fight from originally, it was seen primarily as something that benefitted the relatively smaller number of americans without insurance. in 2017, americans came to see it as something that benefitted even the vast majority, 85% or so, with insurance. because of people with preconditions. and trump going back is really indicative of this with the first answer. there's a lot of dissatisfaction with joe biden's record. we see it over and over again in various angles from polls. but trump is running on an agenda that is more aggressive and militant than he ran on in 2016 and certainly than he ran on in 2020. he's talking about obamacare, about mass deportation, internment camps, sending go the national guard into blue 60s. vast trade wars with china and other countries. maybe he can sell those policies. but in many ways, you look at this and the aca rep

you, sk on voted to appeal obamacare when trump was president. do you think that this is a winning issue right now? would you like to see at vote again? >> here's what -- good question. this is what we try to do when trump was president. let's block the money. the money that we have in washington to minister obamacare is controlled by democrats you'll never meet. let's take that money, send it back to the states, make sure it's spent on health care and see if -- >> so you're okay with -- >> yeah, i'm okay -- i would like to get the money power out of washington and back to the states. i think we should block grant it back to the states and let bureaucrats in washington run our health care. socialized medicine doesn't work. get the money and power of washington and get it in the hands of the people closest to the patient. >> senator, before i let you go, i want to ask you about your fellow republican former congress wang liz cheney. she has a new book out, we sat down for an interview this week and she said she's worried that the chance of a secon

first, he said he wanted to replace obamacare, then he wanted to come up with an alternative, which, a lot of republicans were alarmed by, given the fact that even when he was in the white house and they had a full control of republican po power in washington, they were unable to return obamacare. and another thing to mention here is that trump said he was going to come up with a health care plan, but never did present a plan there. but democrats are seizing on that, not surprising. obamacare is more popular, and it's not something that republicans really want to go after again unless there is a clear path. now, we'll show you, i think we have some of it cut here, but the biden campaign actually launched an ad in response to this, slamming trump, saying that he wants to take away health care. this has given them a new sense of ammunition in this potential general election match-up in 2024. >> yeah, the biden campaign will welcome that fight on obamacare. okay, kristen, thank you very much, reporting from iowa for us. we know we have many of these events coming up for you, so, we appr

so trump is not going to be successful in rolling back obamacare. one, because democrats are going to have control of the house and the senate, which sometis going make it much more difficult for him to do that if he were to get in. i don't think he will get in. we will leave that on the side. but in terms of much of what my colleague said about health care, i agree. one thing i want to add to it, you know, he mentioned housing, which i 100% agree with and he mentioned holistic approach, which i 100% agree with. we have to talk about the predeterminants of health and the things that we need to invest in to help us dramatically bring down health care costs like universal childcare and early childhood education. many of our babies, our children are dealing with toxic stress and chronic trauma because we don't have a universal childcare system and many of my colleagues in the republican party do not support universal childcare. but that social determinative health in addition to housing, in addition to other environmental factors like climate and educa

>> obamacare hasn't worked. going to replace and supersede with a better plan. >> donald trump has said much the same thing, he wants to replace obamacare. looking at alternatives, he says, and lamenting that a senator stopped him from repealing obamacare during his administration. the problem is repeal and replace, other than americans don't tend to like it, is that the replacement part. desantis hasn't explained what his replacement health care insurance would be. trump said throughout his administration his master health care plan was just two weeks away. >> we have come up with a solution that's really, really, i think, very good. now, i have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject. nobody knew that health care could be so complicated. >> they will have so many options. this will cost the united states government virtually nothing. and people will have great, great health care. >> but we never saw it. you remember the senate came within moments of ending obamacare, but without a plan to replace it.

are you going to keep obamacare in place and make revisions to it?at be your plan to be crystal clear? >> this will be replacing obama care. >> so you will repeal and replace it? >> obama care hasn't worked and we are going to replace and supersede with a better plan. >> can you tell me specifically what the plan is and what your plan is to ensure the 40 million people who now have health insurance who didn't before obama care was passed? >> well, we're going to be working on probably in the spring. we'll roll out a big proposal. i've got a lot of input that's been coming in from a lot of good people around the country, but we will be definitely be addressing insurance. we will definitely be addressing big government and addressing big pharma. you know, we pay more for drugs in this country than anybody else in the world. i would like to address this across the country so our consumers are getting relief. obamacare promised that and it didn't deliver, and we'll do something that actually works. >>> and a programming note now, join us this wednesday a

along comes donald trump, let's talk about obamacare and the conversation shifts to the.t to the white house. paul: when we come back, thousands of auto dealerships put the brakes on the electric vehicle mandate as cars pile up on lots across the country. frm unlimited card. earning on my favorite soup. aaaaaah. got it. earning on that éclair. don't touch it, don't touch it yet. let me get the big one. nope. -this one? -nope. -this one? -yes. no. what? the big one. they're all the same size. wait! lemme get 'em all. i'm gonna get 'em all! earn big with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. your brain is an amazing thing. but as you get older, it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve memory. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. only sleep number smart beds let

most of them do not want to do anything with obamacare. the affordable care act, as you said , it's actually a very well favored program here in the country. and they remember what happened in 2017 when donald trump basically his biggest campaign promise, was unable to fulfill, even though he had a republican majority in washington, they could not repeal and replace obamacare. now, this is all because donald trump read an op ed in the wall street journal that said that elizabeth warren had some question as well as republicans, and he thought that if there was bipartisan dislike for obamacare, it might be time to bring it back up. but again, if you look at the polling, obamacare, the affordable care act, is actually much more popular now. people rely on it. millions of americans and republicans really don't want to go down this path. they would rather focus on the border and immigration and inflation, not take this turn back to health care. >> you have an argument that, for instance, ron desantis is making that donald trump has too much bag

so trump is not going to be successful and rolling back obamacare.s are going to have control of the house and the senate, which is going to make it much more difficult if he were to do that, if he were to get in. and i don't think he's going to get in but we'll leave it on the side. and like much of my colleagues said about health care, i agree. one thing i'll add, he mentioned housing. which i 100% agree with and maintained a holistic approach which i 100% agree with. we have to talk about the pre-determinants of health, and the things we need to invest in to dramatically bring down our health care hostels. like universal child care and child education. many of our babies, our children are dealing with toxic stress and chronic trauma because we don't have that universal child care system, and many of my colleagues in the republican party do not support universal child care. but that social determinants of health, and addition to housing, in addition to other environmental factors like climate and education will help with health care outcomes on the

never came up with a plan to replace obamacare. your thoughts on that. >> that is really -- i hope he keeps talking about that. remember, he said that -- when he ran in 2016, that he was going to repeal and replace obamacare and replace it with something terrific, as i remember him saying. it was a complete failure. the republicans -- i had thought, you know, they had been vowing to repeal and replace obamacare since we passed it in 2010. i thought, well, okay, they have had six, seven years to figure out what they want to do. let's see what you got. i don't know. there might be a market-based way to do this. what they came up with, 20 some million americans would have lost coverage. you weren't guaranteed, depending on your state, whether you would be covered if you had a pre-existing condition. the american people saw this and said, oh, my god, this is terrible. thank god for john mccain and his thumbs down. when they saw what they were going to do, i would go around red areas of minnesota and people were screaming about this. be

, they would rather talk about ob obam obamacare, but many would like to see biden in more forceful to talk about it more frequently, and we have seen him give specific speeches about january 6th, and about even this project 2025 that trump and the republican allies are pushing which is an outline that has to do with installing loyalists across the government and weaponizing doj and going after the political enemies, and president biden has talked about it, but not for months, so it is going to be something that i would like to see if president biden decides to be more forceful like liz cheney, because i asked him about speaker johnson and whether or not he thought that he was concerned that speaker johnson might help a president trump or might not certify election results. and president biden struck it down, and so it is interesting that someone like former congresswoman cheney is saying that yes, it is something to worry about. >> and we did get a piece of breaking news that doug bergam is suspending his campaign. not much more to say about that. >> and now, just miles from khan youn

. >>> plus former president trump reviving his calls to replace obamacare. that is almost certainly going to help president biden. that is ahead. the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. >>> there is one thing in closing that we have in common, is neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024. >> that was california governor newsom. and that reality did not stop him from debating presidential candidate ron desantis last night in what could be described as an unusual and even bizarre spectacle. newsom who was widely expected to run for president -- well, maybe not widely expected, but certainly talked about as a potential rival to the current president biden. he instead played the role of biden advocate and surrogate last night. >

he did correctly and i always said obamacare is not making health care more affordable. made it more expensive. that was the central claim. it hasn't worked, and it's more expensive than ever. but i think they failed because they didn't have anything to replace it with. the american people at the time were telling him and telling congress yeah we know obamacare is flawed, but you have to produce something that will be a replacement. so what we are going to focus on is accessibility. we want good health care to be accessible to people. we want affordability. it's gotta be affordable and we want accountability in the system. we want will have a bigger plan when we get into the election season, we're working a lot of experts and congress and stuff. but if you look, the patient in the system is at the back of the bus. the doctor is now the back of the bus. who's at the front of the bus? big insurance companies, big pharmaceutical companies, big government bureaucracies. it's an iron triangle that really is a system rather and something that is an individual care. so we want

i saved obamacare when we got john mccain ice negative vote.u know, he voted against it after campaigning for many, many years. he said, ugh, thumbs-down. it was an amazing night, but we're going to fix it. >> the most important part is you should guard the vote. you should go into detroit, philadelphia, some of these places, atlanta, and go into some of these places, and we've got to watch those votes when they come in. >>> joe biden is not the defender of american democracy. joe biden is the destroyer of american democracy. it's him and his people. they can do whatever they want, break any law, tell any lie, ruin any life, trash any norm, and get away with anything they want. >> trump's comments about obamacare are nonsensical and his suggestion that supporters guard the vote in deep blue cities sure sounds like voter intimidation, and his claim that president biden is a threat to to democracy appears to be part of the larger campaign strategy for the 2024 gop front-runner. according to "the new york times" on saturday, trump left placardsach

. >> long live obamacare. trump says he will get rid of the popular health care program if elected again, as north carolina becomes the latest state to expand medicaid. that states governor, roy cooper, joins me to discuss. and sashay away, george santos becomes the first member of congress sixfold were the 20 years. with more than half of its republican colleagues voting to give him the boot. you just know tara setmayer will have something to say about that. no jonathan capehart, this is the saturday show. >> we begin this morning with the israel-hamas war, where the israeli military is intensifying its attacks on southern gaza after a week long pause in fighting came to an end. the idf says within just the last 24 hours, it struck more than 400 targets across the gaza strip with airstrikes, tank fire, and its navy. according to the hamas-run health industry in gaza, that least 200 palestinians have been killed since the fighting resumed. secretary of state antony blinken in dubai yesterday blamed hamas for e

and when he was in office he continually said that he would come up with a plan that would replace obamacare and left in 2020 having never done so. kate. >> thank you, kristen with the reporting. sara? >> yes, and you hear all of this and he has a commanding lead. now, what on of the strong gop challengers says about nikki haley, and the man, the myth and the legend harry enten is joining me. how far is nikki haley, and what is the historical path for her to have a win. >> and now, donald trump is well ahead of nikki haley and though she does have momentum. this is the prior poll and the latest, and iowa/ohio nationally, and last poll, donald trump was up 45 point, but still smaller than he was before. and this is a key nugget. looking at iowa and new hampshire, and looking at iowa, the first in the nation, and donald trump has a commanding lead, but it is 45 compared to 27 nationally. and then it was 27 and now 22. so the idea is that you win and do better in iowa than expected, and win new hampshire and then take off nationally, and one historical analogy that i would point to. and the 198

no one else does here, and continuing to attack obamacare here, do you think? >> well, it is one of the bases, and one of the failures of the first term in base, and he said that he would repeal and replace it, and you remember the john mccain thumb's down vote. and it is what in the first term he did not repeal and replace, and it is something that he is stunned by losing that vote in the first term in office by not appealing obamacare. >> and kristen holmes said that amidst all of this, he is not feeling political pressure to change the rhetoric and you don't think so with the political polling out there, and this is ron brownstein putting it together this morning. listen to this. >> by the normalmetics met rics would say that a president with 40% approval is in trouble, and biden is in trouble, but with trump putting out a polarizing agenda with the threats of weaponizing justice department, and he is providing biden a path even if there is not an affirmative majority excited to give him four more years, there is overwhelming in '18 and '22 don't want to liv

obamacare covered $71. guess what, when i came to income tax time they wanted the $71 back for the six months that i was on it. then they increased it for the next month. there is so much free money rolling around, everyone talking about this -- you have a criminal running for a free country. this dude actually said i am down with putin and this is how you're supposed to run a country. talking about the economics. he set up front i do not pay taxes. those who do are stupid. do not blame me. you have a criminal running. someone i want to touch on, the guy who said, this is a lie. there is no difference in economics. recession is influx big time. you're talking about jobs. a lot of jobs and nobody is trying to work them. everybody wants to be remote. everybody wants to work remote and do nothing because it helps the economy, the employer's. the young ones talking about rent, you do not have to worry about mortgage. you cannot even pay rent. host: how are you doing besides the health problems. are you able to

. >> as ron said, trump is also insisting again he would repeal obamacare, even though it as popular program that republicans have largely given up on fighting against. so why is trump fixating on this? >> i think he has a preoccupation with barack obama. we see this time and again. he's consistently referring to the current president as barack obama. i think there's probably some really ugly strategic thinking behind that. we know he has this absolute preoccupation with occupation and everything that obama got done. this is a strategic error on his part. this is an incredibly popular piece of legislation. people can feel the difference it makes in their lives. we've seen over the course of the last few elections that taking the position that you're going to repeal obamacare is a loser. we've seen essentially every other republican, every other elected republican, walk away from this as a policy. so as you look at what dump is doing with this really heated and hateful rhetoric and tripling down, quadrupling down on repealing obamacare, this is not a good general election strategy for

we have now heard from donald trump who was the first to start it talking about getting rid of obamacare then desantis has also jumped in saying he's promising a new health care plan to supersede, as he put t although he didn't pell spell out any plan, obamacare. biden also jumping in. is this going to be a big issue now that you see all of these candidates jumping on this idea that americans are unhappy with their health care in general? >> it's interesting because, you know, you don't see health care as a top issue in polls as it has been as i can certainly remember it being, say, a decade ago, you know, when obamacare was still -- was still new and the republican party was very much energized by opposition to t we've seen that fade quite a bit. most republicans privately will admit that they don't see the affordable care act going anywhere or even being significantly modified. and voters seem much more concerned with other pocketbook issues, particularly inflation, high prices, the state of the economy in that sense. so, you know, i think democrats are happy to see this issue come up

. >> president biden and the campaign have seized on his threats to repeal and replace obamacare.e has expressed surprise that trump would revise this topic after they had failed to do so when he was president. and as obama care has increased in popularity. beyond attacks on trump and laying out what is at stake. advisers and knowledge they need to talk about what president biden would have to offer in a second term when it comes to a healthcare agenda. the president is expected to ramp up his messaging on this front. some of the items that the second term agenda when it comes to healthcare could include, trying to extend and expand those price cuts that came for insulin and other drugs that are being provided under medicare. there is also likely to be a push to make permanent those enhanced federal premium subsidies that help on the obama care exchanges to be more affordable. those are set to expire right now in 2025. there will likely be a push to make those permanent as well. allies are trying to find out if there is any work around to give access to obamacare coverage in those

we get obamacare. well neither my constituent, battling cancer, nor myself, who fought cancer and won 12 years ago, can go back to m.d. anderson. she cannot go to m.d. anderson for the first time. under obamacare. the best cancer hospital in the world. suddenly coverage doesn't sound that good, does it? suddenly the obamacare mandates that have radically driven up the price of health care, radically consolidated the health care industry, radically enriched the insurance companies, radically enriched hospital corporation, radically enriched pharmaceutical companies, suddenly all of that stuff doesn't sound so good. when you wake up and you want to go to the doctor and you're told sorry, you're not on the plan. that's the fact. americans, family of four, spend about $25,000 of their own money or the corporate match for health insurance. but it's not insurance. it's crappy, managed care. where your insurance company pick yours doctors, your winners, your losers, tells you what you can do, what you can't d

obamacare, two gifts, trump saying he's going to repeal obamacare because that is a popular thing that people rely on every day now, and then i am going to be a dictator. >> on day one. >> on day one. >> michael steele, i've got to ask you this because there has been so much talk this week about nikki haley. the chances of her actually ousting donald trump as a fund front runner seem thin, slim. you just raise your hand like now, that's a zero. nikki haley is a third party candidate, do you think it's a possibility? >> now. no. no. let's get off the third party stuff. it is a rabbit hole to hell for the political consequences in 2024 and 2025 and beyond. the country is not, the country is not fully read in on what this means. it is reactionary. those efforts can't tell you which of the battleground states of those three or four states that you referenced, or for that matter, any state that they can get electoral votes and college votes from, and claim for themselves, so the reality of it is, there's no space for nikki to become a third party candidate. she will either be endorsing, if

when he talks about health care he says let's get rid of obamacare of which is hugely popular.alks about the economy he talks about bringing on tariffs which will increase inflation, when he talks about locking up migrants that is going to hurt his labor force. all these policies that he does talk about, they don't help the american people. >> no, they don't, obamacare in particular, i mean his column if you want to talk about columns he put this column out there the other day, and he said let's appeal obamacare and that's the dumbest thing he could do, people don't agree with him on that republicans independents democrats -- should it be easier no, we are not living in easy times but with issues like that they are powerful and people do listen to us, apart from who the candidate is. the response to the policies. trump will make big mistakes. the caller makes them seem so powerful and like he doesn't make mistakes, he makes mistakes every single day, bad ones like that. >> david, the piece predicts that republicans will all fall in line once the primary voting begins and that c
